Crowd Controversy

of Great Britain was a somewhat unexpected winner. Kenzō Shirai of Japan, the two-time and reigning world champion on floor, was the overwhelming favorite owing to the extremely high difficulty of his routine and excellent execution. But on this occasion Shirai had problems with his landings on three of his six passes. In interviews after the competition, both Shirai and Sam Mikulak expressed disappointment with the crowd, whose booing and jeering had grown increasingly loud during non-Brazilian routines as the competition went on.
